I’m again confused as to how I’m “bagging” on other’s closed minded opinions, therefore myself closed minded and judge-mental. But this isn’t exactly a logical or serious topic, so whatever. And call me what you will, but as ridiculously as these kids are dressed, they’re not hurting anyone. I know all the tough “old school” EP residents would prefer the Echo Park style of gang colors and glocks, but I doubt these kids are doing much harm to anyone around them. Yes, everyone featured is a perpetuating a ridiculous stereotype of Echo Park. It’s just that I don’t understand “hating” them. Just ignore them.

Alexis , you are contradictory , and downright insulting ! My family has lived here since the 50’s , I guess we would be the “old school” and NONE of us have EVER dressed in th “cholo style” or for that matter , are “tough ” . For you to ASSUME that about us is downright ignorant ! Its just as bad to make fun of hipster kids for what they wear , but to assume that people who have lived here are tough and cholo style wearing people is just wrong !plus you are doing exactly what you so despise , making fun of people for what they wear !
